For the teacher with Master degree, do u know which uni she graduate from?


Both ABRSM and Trinity are as recognised in sgp for graded exam, just that ABRSM is more popular. I uses ABRSM unless my students request for Trinity or other exam boards.

She mentioned from University of Melborne (Australia) where majoring in piano!

In terms of qualification, the master degree stands higher than the DipABRSM (and the charges work out cheaper). However, qualification is one thing, teaching is another. The latter comes with experience, character and creativity. Have a chat (or even meet up) with both teachers, sound out their views, see how they communicate, then make your decision from there.

Yes the DipABRSM the learning rate is about $50/hour as compare the one with the Master degree. I guess maybe need to evaluate the physical training venue & also the communication of the teacher.

Chrismei,

Yes I'm also looking around for Piano Teacher. Wow that is about $60/hour for beginner rate.

Cheapest I had found is $40/hour & most expensive is $200/hr. I guess maybe the piano teacher you found could must high qualifications & experiences in teaching piano.
